Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of use] The present invention relates to a conveying device for separating strips.

(Prior art) Conventionally, after the strip material to be sorted is taken into the lateral feed skid, in order to sort each sorting in the downstream of the lateral feed skid, a sorting signal is tracked by a computer or a sequencer in the lateral feed skid, The sorting direction is determined by the sorting information based on the tracking information.

For example, in the "Failure product removal device in a round steel conveying line" of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-68027, in order to take out a round steel judged to be defective during horizontal feeding by a chain conveyor to a reject cradle, it is determined to be defective. From the time it was taken to the time it was taken out, it was necessary to carry out tracking by a computer or an operator to visually track and process the defective product.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

According to these conventional methods, tracking is performed by introducing a large-capacity, high-speed processing computer or sequencer capable of sequentially transmitting information on the number of strips that enter the transverse feed skid according to the movement of the strips. There was a need.

However, even if tracking is performed, it is difficult to detect if the order in which the strips are lined up in the transverse feed skid has changed, and it is difficult to detect this, and there is a risk of making an error in sorting at the downstream of the transverse feed skid. was there.

Alternatively, if the number of strips in the transverse feed skid is small, it is possible for the operator to visually trace the strips he wants to sort and then sort the strips, but since the worker intervenes, there is a risk of misidentification during sorting. There was also.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a strip material conveying device having improved work efficiency and reliability of sorting each strip material.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The gist of the present invention is to provide a device for conveying a strip material in the longitudinal direction, a take-in device for taking the strip material into a transverse feed skid, the transverse feed skid, and a conveying device downstream from the transverse feed skid. A sorting device that dispenses strips, in a strip transporting device that is sequentially arranged, a sorting device that sorts strips into a device that transports the strips in the length direction, and a sorting signal from the sorting device. And a sensor for controlling the end position of the strip based on the signal and a sensor for detecting the end position of the strip on the downstream side of the transverse feed skid and determining the sorting destination. It is a conveyance device for the strip material.

A sensor located on the downstream side of the feed skid 7 for determining the sorting destination by detecting whether the end position of the strip material taken into the determination skid 12 is classification A or classification B, and 10 is a classification A detection downstream side sensor. , 11
Is a downstream sensor for the classification B detection. 13 is a sorting device for sorting the strips from the transverse feed skid 7 to the downstream conveying device and delivering the strips, and 14 is a sorting A for sorting the strips of the sorting A.
Dispensing table, 15 is a sorting B dispensing skid for dispensing sorting B strips, 16 is strips, 17 is sorting device 1
2 shows a control device for controlling the brake timing by the signal of.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

First, among the strips 16 sorted by the sorting apparatus 1, the strip 16 determined to be the sorting A is stopped at the sorting A end position 5, and the strip determined to be the sorting B is stopped at the sorting B end position 6. As described above, the position of the end portion is controlled by the brake 2 via the control device 17.

When the strip 16 is stopped by the brake 2, if the sorting is A, both the sorting A detecting upstream sensor 3 and the sorting B detecting upstream sensor 4 detect the presence of the strip, and if sorting B, sorting Only the B detection upstream side sensor 4 should have detected the presence of the strip, and in any other state, an alarm can be issued as a defective stop position of the strip. Therefore, if there is no alarm, the material of sorting A is the sorting A end position 5
In addition, the strips of the sorting B are correctly stopped at the sorting B end position 6, respectively.

The strips that have been stopped correctly are taken into the transverse feed skid 7 by the take-in device 8, and the strips inside the transverse feed skid 7 should be sorted according to the positions of the ends of the strips without tracking by a computer or sequencer. The sorting A strips 16A and sorting B strips 16B are lined up so that they can be performed.

The strip material at the most downstream side of the lateral feed skid 7 is taken into the sorting judgment skid 12 by the sorting judgment skid loading device 9. Here, the position of the end of the strip is detected. That is, if both the classification A detection downstream side sensor 10 and the classification B detection downstream side sensor 11 detect the presence of the strip material, it is the classification A, and if only the classification B detection downstream side sensor 11 detects the presence of the strip material, it is the classification B. Can be determined.

Based on this judgment, the sorting device 13 dispenses the strips to the sorting A dispensing table 14 and the sorting device 13 to the sorting B dispensing skid 15 to sort the strips. The transportation is completed.

In this way, the classification A detection upstream side sensor 3 and the classification B detection upstream side sensor 4 are arranged to judge whether or not the position of the end portion of the strip is in accordance with the classification performed by the classification device 1. , Take-in device 8, lateral feed skid 7, sorting judgment skid The taking-in device 9 is within a range in which the longitudinal position (separation A end position 5 or separation B end position 6) of the strip is not misjudged by the classification judgment skid 12. Secured material 16
It has a transverse feed mechanism. Further, two or more sorts can be selected as appropriate, and sorts that can be partitioned by the sorting device 13 can be appropriately selected.

Here, if the sorting device 1 is an automatic flaw detection device for strips, it can be used as a sorting device for passing and rejecting strips that have been judged by the automatic flaw detector.

Further, if the sorting device 1 is a length measuring device for the strip 16, it can be used as a sorting device according to the length of the strip whose length is measured.

Further, if the sorting apparatus 1 is a strip shape measuring machine, it can be used as a sorting apparatus according to the measured shape.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the transport apparatus of the present invention, sorting of strips does not need to be tracked by a computer or a sequencer, and the order in which the strips are lined up in the transverse feed skid causes an order Even if the strips are replaced, it is possible as long as the position of the end of the strip, that is, the position of the sorting A end or the position of the sorting B end is secured within a range that does not make an erroneous determination by the sorting determination skid. Reliability is improved along with the efficiency of sorting for each sorting.
